Rare exercise-induced VT signals underlying disease during stress testing; hypothesis-generating for risk predictors in observational cohorts.
Observational (n=5,730)
Exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia is a rare complication of treadmill stress testing that occurs primarily in patients with underlying heart disease and is frequently preceded by exertional hypotension.
Codini et al. (1981) conducted an observational in Undergoing treadmill stress tests (n=5,730). Treadmill stress test was evaluated on Ventricular tachycardia. Exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia occurred in 0.08% of patients undergoing treadmill stress tests, predominantly affecting those with underlying heart disease.
